With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
L-galactonate:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-galactonate + NADP+ = D-galacturonate + NADPH + H+ [RN:
R07676 ]
Reaction(KEGG)

Comment
The enzyme from plants is involved in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) biosynthesis [1,2]. The enzyme from the fungus Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) is involved in a eukaryotic degradation pathway of D-galacturonate. It is also active with D-glucuronate and glyceraldehyde [3]. Neither enzyme shows any activity with NADH.
